Man. After reading this site, I honestly felt dumber. Of course, reading nothing but poorly-constructed arguments, blatantly leading questions, and chicken little fear-mongering does that to me.
Could the dollar collapse? Could we all be unemployed? Could the Muslims turn into the SS and start killing every Christian in sight? Shit, these are about as rational as saying "could my nuts turn green and fall off tomorrow." I guess they're all a possibility.
Worried about the militaries of the Islamic nations? Are you kidding? People are confusing the problems we have here in Iraq with military might. Don't think for a moment if there was a real military threat we wouldn't pull right out of this country, so can the "overextended" argument that websites like these like to make. Iran has a big military? So what? Iraq had the 4th biggest military in the world, much of it supplied by the US and the remainder fairly decent Soviet gear. We kicked their asses up and down the country in a matter of weeks.
If you want to compare the insurgency here to Vietnam, ok, that's fair. But to imply that America is threatened by someone else's military is asinine. Acts of terrorism? Cause for concern. Douchebags in white berets? Wouldn't lose too much sleep over it.
My biggest problem with a website like this is that it just slanders the crap out of a religion, Islam, which is not at all about Terrorism. For all those who make websites like this and think Islam is so bad, take a look at the Old Testament. Think about how many of your neighbors you've stoned to death for not attending church on the Sabbath. Oh, you don't make a habit out of doing that? Well, 99.9% of Muslims don't make a habit out of Jihad, either. Islam is an excuse for political powers to hide behind. It's a way for operatives from Syria, Iran, and Czech Republic to rally support against the US, a tool to trick weak-minded and desperate people into blowing themselves up, thinking they are taking care of their families for life. Study a little counterterrorism and you'll see that within most cells there's a fellow whose sole purpose is to sell some dumb schmuck on the idea of blowing himself up and going to heaven, and he's basically just the arab version of that douche on TV who wants you to send Jesus money so Jesus can buy him another Porsche.
Alright, I'm trying to cool down the rant engines, but utter, unadulterated and completely unfounded propaganda like this tripe gets them going pretty hot. If you look at this website and come away with one thing, please come away with this: it's a sales website. The product is unreasoning fear. And that's it.
